TrainACat.us is an educational site about reward-based cat training. We keep data collection to a minimum. This page explains what little we collect, how the free tracker works, and how we’re funded — including our participation in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.
Affiliate disclosure (Amazon Associates)
TrainACat.us is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
Affiliate links never influence our editorial advice: every product we mention is gear commonly recommended by trainers and cat owners, and the training methods in our guides work with any equivalent equipment. Pages containing affiliate links carry a visible disclosure next to the links.
What data we collect
We do not require accounts, and we do not ask for your name, email address, or any personal details to read our guides or use the tracker.
- Cat Training Tracker: your cats and progress checkmarks are stored in your own browser using
localStorage. That data never leaves your device and is never sent to our servers. Clearing your browser data erases it. - Server logs: like virtually all websites, our web server records standard technical logs (IP address, user agent, requested page, timestamp) for security and troubleshooting. Logs are rotated and not used to identify individuals.

When you click an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon may set cookies on its own domain to attribute your purchase. Those cookies are governed by Amazon’s privacy notice, not ours.
